Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, announced today that it has expanded its European offering of pre-validated assays for the Thermo Scientific Cascadion SM Clinical Analyzer with the addition of the CE/IVD marked Cascadion SM Immunosuppressants (ISD) Panel. Clinical laboratories can now access a complete system developed to enable simultaneous testing of cyclosporine A, everolimus, sirolimus and tacrolimus from a single whole blood sample aspiration using gold standard liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology. The Cascadion analyzer aspirates whole blood directly from qualified, de-capped blood collection tubes without the need for any manual pre-treatment steps.
The Cascadion SM Clinical Analyzer with pre-validated assays offers clinical laboratories a fully automated system, providing multiple benefits for boosting laboratory efficiency and productivity. Pre-defined assay parameters and reagents on all Cascadion systems allow for standardization of testing conditions and results, while load up and walkaway operation can be performed by any qualified laboratory personnel with minimal training.
